Pratapgadh (24 km):

Raigad Fort (80 km):Among Chhatrapati Shivaji’s formidable forts, Raigad served as the capital of great Maratha ruler from 1664 to 1680.

Sinhagad Fort (96 km): Formerly known as Kondhana, this fort was one of the most impregnable forts in Western India.

Tapola (30 km):Also known as the “mini Kashmir”, Tapola is an ideal summer retreat with fragmented scenic beauty. You can have an eternal peace in its unpolluted environment. It is no surprise that the place is popular with picnickers.
